Amazon today has announced a slew of enhancements to its data migration service (DMS). The enhancement will facilitate the migration of data kept in the open-source NoSQL database MongoDB. This will allow users to port their data into AWS's in-house DynamoDB managed NoSQL service, with a minimum of hassle.
Announcing the news, Amazon said:
AWS Database Migration Service has expanded its functionality to support migration of NoSQL databases. This gives you significant new migration options in addition to its existing relational database and data warehouse migration capabilities.
At present, direct migration service works with Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, and SAP ASE databases. However, AWS has said that DMS now supports migration of NoSQL databases in general. The key word is 'general', since this appears to suggest that the company could (if it has not already) expand the roster of databases supported by the company's DMS.
DMS is a pretty important part of the services Amazon offers under the AWS banner. In December last year, the company claimed that the service had facilitated as many as 16,000 migrations in 2016. Last month, he further expounded on the topic stating that the number of migrations had exceeded 22,000.
With DMS, AWS is basically encouraging users to move to its managed database that is also hosted on its platform. You can learn more on the topic by visitingt the AWS Database Migration Service product page.

April 6, 2010 –Enkata Activity Tracker is available today from Enkata, provider of performance management software.
Activity Tracker is a software component on a service agent's desktop that captures data relevant to the customer interaction. Activity Tracker logs all desktop activity and captures screen patterns, field entries, displayed data and viewed information at the level of data fields within desktop applications.
The technology aims to shortcut typical contact center integration with enterprise data sources and shift data capture to the agent desktop at the point of customer interaction. Capturing data from desktops for analytic processing minimizes or eliminates the need for typical back end integrations, according to the company.
With a software as a service delivery model, Enkata claims it can shorten implementation times from six to nine months to six to eight weeks, saving time and cost on ramp-up.
The top two enterprise goals for 2010 are providing an outstanding customer experience and reducing costs, according to Donna Fluss, president of DMG Consulting, LLC. "Executives are looking for innovative ways to optimize the performance of contact centers to achieve these goals," Fluss said in a statement. "They are increasingly turning to analytical applications to provide actionable insights that empower them to make improvements in near-real time."
"With Activity Tracker, deployment of contact center initiatives to improve the customer experience and reduce operating costs take a few tens of thousands of implementation dollars, not hundreds of thousands of dollars," says Enkata's Joe McFadden, senior director of marketing. "These projects will also fall under a simplified IT governance process. Good for IT, good for the business lines wanting to impact the bottom line."

Overview of Doctorate in Psychology Degree Programs in Hawaii
The field of psychology is extremely diverse, with careers and research opportunities in dozens of specialties and areas of study. No matter what area of psychology holds your interest, you may reach your full potential with a PhD or PsyD. These degrees give you the title of doctor and permit you to work independently with patients throughout Hawaii.
The need for licensed psychologists is even greater in Hawaii than it is in many other states. While it's easy for people in major cities to find psychologists and counselors, residents of less populated islands and remote communities may have very little access to important mental health services. Becoming a psychologist could help you qualify for grants and meet growing healthcare needs in Hawaii.
Before you can work in this field, you need an education from an APA-accredited doctoral psychology program. Hawaii has several options for PhD and PsyD degree seekers.
Check out your options below with our list of APA accredited PsyD programs in Hawaii.
Getting Your Doctorate Degree in Psychology in Hawaii
To start the path to a PhD in psychology in Hawaii, ensure that you fit the admissions requirements of local schools. At competitive institutions, you may need to far exceed the minimum requirements to have a chance. You do need a Bachelor's degree, but it doesn't have to be in psychology. However, some schools require at least 12 credits of undergraduate psychology coursework.
Furthermore, you need high scores on the GRE and positive professor or supervisor references. You should have a strong idea of your research interests, as this is one of the ways that schools decide whether or not you are a good fit.
Think about how you want to use your psychology degree to figure out if you should pursue a PhD or PsyD. With a PhD, you may be ready for research, teaching, and clinical positions. With a PsyD, you may be expertly trained in clinical work.
In a PhD program, you may find courses like:
- Quantitative Inquiry
- Qualitative Inquiry
- Social Psychology
- Neuropsychological Assessment
- Experiential Theory and Therapy
- Clinical Interviewing
- Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Therapy
Most of the courses required by PsyD in psychology programs in HI have a clinical foundation. For example, the courses below are commonly required:
- Psychopathology
- Evaluation and Treatment of Diverse and Marginalized Populations
- Clinical Psychopharmacology
- Consultation and Community Mental Health
- Cognitive and Affective Processes
- Biological Bases of Behavior
- Social Psychology
- Projective Personality Assessment
- Integrative Assessment
In addition to your classroom coursework, each school sets its own practical experience requirements. For both programs, this may involve at least three clinical rotations or practicum courses. In a PhD program, you may be expected to participate in research each semester and teach undergraduate courses.
Working With Your Doctoral Degree in Psychology in Hawaii
Professional and Vocational Licensing is the licensing agency for psychologists in Hawaii. You must submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities you've attended, an Internship Verification form, and references. The final step in getting a license is passing the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology.
This degree is fairly flexible. You may look for positions at private employers, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. You may even open your own practice as a clinical psychologist. Use the connections you build as a doctoral student to find positions and employers that suit your experience.
Hawaii psychology salaries tend to be in line with national averages. School, counseling, and clinical psychologists report an average salary of $
This is the time to advance your education and explore new career choices. Get everything you need to get started by contacting PsyD and PhD in psychology programs in Hawaii.

Yes sir, we're back around for another scouter check on Street Fighter V. I don't think I'll make a habit out of delving into each layer of SF5, but I don't see any harm coming from it. If you don't mind the spoilers jump right in and let's get down to business.
Now, I cannot stress enough that I'll be taking apart as many pieces as I can, so if you don't care at all or already know please proceed. Last warning ***FULL SPOILERS AHEAD!***
Y'all tucked in? Herrre we go… Once upon a time, not long ago, where Ryu wore pajamas & struggled with the dark hadou. I'll stop, I couldn't resist. Let me preface this with I didn't expect much from the first organized Street Fighter story. True, there was the Alpha series, but there were some discrepancies with SFA2 & SFA3. On top of that, the endings had to be pieced together to see what really happened. What really set my standards low was that the Capcom creative staff were also the masterminds behind the Marvel vs. Capcom and Darkstalkers continuities. For those with expectations on this story, you were more than likely disappointed and I'm sorry for that because given the rocky road we've been on with this game, someone has to say it.
To give the benefit of the doubt, the storyboard and dialogue were most likely done in Japanese, so the interactions & humor might have not crossed over as anticipated due to cultural differences. Also, I understand there are rumors swirling around that there will be story DLC possibly every season, but be it as it may, they're just rumors at this time; this is my critique solely on 'A Shadow Falls'. To best summarize it, the whole thing feels rushed, like the rest of the single player content. For me, the humor felt awkward. I cringed more than I laughed, not to say that a story has to be serious all the time, though. It's just the gags and animations were more miss than hit.
Plot's pretty standard. You have your typical evil overlord in Bison (feel free to mentally fill in whatever trope terms I'm missing as you read along) bent on enhancing his power to critical mass while making the entire world subservient & the fate of the Earth is in the hands of the strongest World Warriors... sounds hunky dory so far. After the introduction, though, you get the feeling of having wandered into fan fiction territory the way the remaining good characters were assembled and thrown at Bison. This approach isn't inherently bad, but can be sloppy if it isn't executed right. Which leads me to the biggest flaw in 'A Shadow Falls': missed opportunities. Opportunities to flesh out the given roster, how they relate to each other, clarify questions on the canon and make more of an impact with this being the first packaged story handed down by Capcom themselves.
Case in point, Street Fighter is an expansive universe with colorful characters and very, very few were even referenced outside of the roster. The likes of a yokozuna caliber sumo, famous stuntman, master of bushinryu and the former king of muay thai weren't on Karin's top ranked list. This is the story told of how Shadaloo fell… considering the ties Sagat had and his reform as a character, not a single reference of him was a painful omission. To add to that, with Psycho Power being a constant presence, the connection that Rose -- and I can't believe I'm saying this, Ingrid -- have to it would warrant an appearance. Granted, from a developer's standpoint you'd have to be wary of whom you include and tease to a fanbase at the risk of backlash, so we'll see just what Capcom has planned should they add on to this.
Putting aside wishful cameos, we still have 22 characters and a Combofiend extra to watch as they deal with their own agendas. Start off with the guy who has been dead since 1998, Charlie Nash. The dead man living on borrowed time, consumed with vengeance and struggling between his humanity and monstrosity; it's a solid concept. What missed the mark that we were all looking forward to were the interactions between him & Guile. No chemistry at all. Which can be understandable on Charlie's part, what with dealing with his own mortality and all, but on the part of Guile this is a detriment. The Family Man has been on a lone mission for revenge/searching for his dead friend and doesn't pay so much as a 'where you been?' or 'what happened to you?' during the entire production. At the point that they seemed to be cool with each other again, they spent their time separate then (again if you're this far, you spoiled yourself) Guile delivers a weak sendoff as Charlie sacrifices himself. What's the sense of bringing back a character to axe him off again almost immediately?
Some characters played the part you would expect and it fit the bill. Take Dhalsim in the role of the sage. Passing down his wisdom and help to those that need it and providing the background on Necalli (thank you, Mr. Exposition.) He gets a few shots in and foreshadows that Alex will have his time in the sun (literally handing Alex his one note in the story). Like any elder mentor, he takes a backseat to the younger heroes and it works. Other characters left you unsatisfied in their role like Balrog. He's destined to be the hired muscle with little brains and nothing more; although having this Ed kid around adds a layer to him. Given that Balrog has always been selfish, it's interesting that he's kept the kid around for as long as he has, even if it's for the sake of taking advantage of him & his powers. Ed, however, seems to be hip to it, so I find it to be a curious dynamic at work.
There are a few pleasant surprises in the overall cast, for me Zangief and Karin stick out. Zangief has solidified himself as the Chuck Norris of Street Fighter by doing mind boggling things I haven't seen since Heihachi in Tekken 6. Karin's return was definitely capitalized on. Fully matured from her schoolgirl Alpha 3 self & asserted herself to the forefront of the battle by utilizing her resources to round up the World Warriors with her underlings… Nick Fury much? To one up these two in particular, Juri and Urien stole the show. Through this story mode, I finally understand what makes Juri so popular. I would go so far as to say she is the most developed on the roster, personality wise. For Urien, perhaps it may be that we haven't seen him in forever and the anticipation is building for his release, but he commands presence in the two scenes that he appears in.
For the newcomers, we have a very mixed bag. Out of the four, Rashid receives the most development, starting off as a goofy man child then later displaying some emotional depth. He serves as the primary comic relief and establishes a bad blood rivalry with the secondary silly man in F.A.N.G. To give F.A.N.G's character credence, the story has him as the architect of Operation C.H.A.I.N.S. and murders Rashid's unnamed friend… seriously, I still don't even know the gender of this person. For new characters in an iconic franchise, especially ones as annoying as F.A.N.G. is, you need to throw them a few bones to legitimize their place in the universe and that's fine. This flamboyant underling did get a few chuckles out of me, so I give him due respect.
The other two see a steep drop-off. Laura left much to be desired as she was just there along for the ride. She also comes across as obnoxious. Not just by being an overbearing older sister, but in her interactions with the other heroes; whether this is really intentional for her design or not, it is what it is and it can leave you feeling disappointed. Necalli, well… I motion to remove any reference of Super Saiyan from him because it's disrespectful to Dragonball Z. Necalli gets no development at all as a character and serves just as a physical manifestation of Ryu's inner hurdle to overcome. I personally don't care at all for this character; I think Blanka bops Necalli free. That's just me and don't let me stop you from liking Necalli at all. However, something I've learned throughout my 7 years of pursuing a professional career in writing is the telltale sign of a well-designed character is when you emote towards their actions and traits regardless of whether it's hate or love. It is a crucial part of storytelling to have the working parts get a rise out of their audience. F.A.N.G. is annoying and clownish by design and you hate him for it, which is still better than being indifferent towards someone. Wrestlers lose their jobs when the crowd's indifferent to their gimmick. Don't be mistaken though, hating a character because it's misused is not the same as fulfilling the role of a heel. Best example I can think of is look towards the reception Roman Reigns receives.
Backtracking to what opportunities were missed, another glaring omission was clarifying the canon of the past Street Fighter timeline. What really went down during the Alpha saga and Street Fighter II arc? I look to Nash, Bison and Vega as the main offenders in their involvement at the end of the Alpha series. Nash & Bison are self explanatory at this point, but supposedly Vega rescued Cammy and the Dolls from the explosion of the Shadaloo base at the time. Instead of a comment or banter about it, we get the usual Vega vanity speech where he's talking in beautiful or rather ugly riddles. As a whole, you get the impression that the characters outside of friendship know each other by reputation because there is no nod towards past World Warrior tournaments or previous encounters foiling Shadaloo. Not even for the sake of humor, which would've benefited Birdie's rank on the relevant totem pole. 'Looks like you're not sick anymore' or 'Whoa, you let yourself go huh?' from an old SF vet towards the big oaf would've guaranteed cheap laughs.
For some characters, you didn't know what to expect, but were underwhelmed anyway. You can say that as hired Kanzuki hands, the budding rivalry of Ibuki & R. Mika is something that's going for the two. The strongest woman in the world had only one (1) playable fight, though. How does Chun-Li get lost in the shuffle like that? Our first lady of Street Fighter doesn't even throw her weight around as an Interpol agent to street cops that don't look Brazilian at all… I'm just saying. Cammy as a standalone character, I agree, falls under this category. However, her ties with the Dolls brought some emotion and closure to the story; one of the few highlights in 'A Shadow Falls'.
The Shoto boys, just like their in-game design, were a rock solid foundation that Capcom banked on. Ken is truly the family man now and portrays the eternal loyal friend & rival to Ryu well. Almost in the sidekick role to the chosen one, but we do get a nod to the mentorship of Sean. Even though there's no blatant confirmation, it is assumed by us knowledgeable players. It is interesting with what they done with Ryu, although it is textbook… then again, what isn't textbook with Ryu? Very early, we start with his struggle with the Satsui no Hado, then he disappears for the middle portion to finally surface later, confronting his demon. It is there we see the transition to the mature Ryu that is rid of the murderous intent in SF3. 'A Shadow Falls' is the first cinematic story of SF, so no longer is it assumed that Ryu saves the day; he is clear cut chosen in similar fashion to Goku. Any DBZ fan can see the problem already with that notion. The face of your brand slays the big bad and that's cool; the issue is the devaluing of the support heroes.
Bison is an enemy to all and powerful enough to fight them off by the bunch. More often than not, yes, it is one person to strike the final blow, but people didn't even have a crack at Bison to at least wear him down. Charlie failed to put a dent in him… so where is that buildup, that intensity that we've seen for 25 years in Guile to crack Bison with a no look backfist? We didn't see any kind of retribution from Chun-Li or Cammy for the hell that Bison put them through. Hell, Ken and Juri could've gotten some burn in a futile or collective effort. Alas, it wasn't in the script, but what was... passes.
In the end, we see the fall of an empire as everyone watches on with us. The heroes celebrate their victory while the villains move on, maybe even fade away. For the Illuminati, they look to move in as we start to head towards SF3's timeline with Gill (yuck) pulling the strings. This is all topped off with a sure shot way to close 'A Shadow Falls': a match between the two that've been in this from the start. Was it safe on Capcom's part? Yeah, but you can never go wrong with a call back to the roots of what this franchise evolved from.
Too long, didn't read: there are some good highlights for 'A Shadow Falls' that salvages it. I wasn't impressed with the filler fights against NPCs, excluding the Dolls. Having the Dolls is a nice touch to give Shadaloo more presence in quantity. What concerns me is how Decapre seems to be pasted straight from Ultra, I really don't want to go through another clone fiasco should she show up next year on the roster. As far as the story, I appreciated the Doll subplot getting closure… it was one of the few things that did. For all the answers that I've gotten playing through the game, I'm left with one big question: Is Capcom truly committed to killing off their characters?
This is way off in the future since SF5 isn't even a half year old yet, so just bare with me on this. It's not unheard of to bring back characters from the dead more than once and sometimes it doesn't take a logical explanation; so what is going to happen to Nash, Bison and maybe F.A.N.G. come Street Fighter VI? Do you abide by the canon now and leave them dead for the rest of the series or compromise someway and have them on any future rosters? I don't see how you leave Charlie & Bison out of a Street Fighter game, but time will tell with this situation.
My final grade, I give it a solid C+ with some noteworthy highlights and plenty of room to improve; because of this, I completely understand if you would give it a harsher grade. SF5 is successful in providing a robust tournament fighter and the 5000+ entries at EVO prove this. Outside of that however, it's a slow work in progress to get everything up and running in the most ideal form.
Thanks for reading!

Not so fast. That's the consumer confidence takeaway Filene Research Fellow and McKinsey partner Dorian Stone shared with us at...
Jan 31 2017
Confidence In Borrowing: Survey 2016
Knowing how consumers feel about borrowing is useful for predicting their intentions and behavior, and is instrumental for developing strategies to support consumers as they navigate how and when to borrow and invest. Our consumer borrowing survey indicates that confidence is low, with over 80% of consumers feeling worried, concerned or stressed about borrowing. Find all the details and more insights in the full report.
Ignacio Luri--Doctoral Student, Department of Marketing at the University of Arizona--discusses the latest results from Filene's national survey exploring consumer confidence.

When you first learned about electronic cigarette you instantly wondered what was wrong by it if you are like me. The truth is, it was a lucky remark left by a research worker, now a good friend, in the very early times of the site which assured me (and lead to our Interviews with Scientists series).
I believe I've learnt a lot about the benefits of eliquid since that time. Most of the information is on our web site, but I Have attempted to bring it together. In case you are new to e cigarettes, hopefully this will answer your questions and anxieties — and if you are old, I would like to know if I'm missing anything!
Oh — you additionally need to what the shocking truth is? You will need to read on to find out…
What is Wrong With Smoking?
Anti smoking activists like to highlight the striking use of fixings found cigarette smoke that is in tobacco.
Hydrogen cyanide, for example, was used in Nazi death camps, whiles another, formaldehyde, continues to be used to preserve corpses).
Nevertheless, it's just how you use tobacco smokes which cause the trouble.
When you burn tobacco, you create smoking. It creates both pitch and countless compounds, as the smoke cools down. Really, based on tobacco harm reduction specialists, we've yet to identify many of the compounds in cigarette smoke.
We do understand that tons are carcinogenic.
Electronic Cigarette Security
In contrast to tobacco cigs, and luckily, there is no combustion with e cigs.
On the other hand, and after several investigations, we understand just what's in electronic cigarettes. The main ingredient is propylene glycol, which can be used in tons of applications, including foods, asthma inhalers, cosmetics, medication, to sterilize drinking water, in air conditioners — and to make stage smoke!
Propylene glycol has been used since the mid-20th century, and is usually considered safe for inhalation. It is even been used to sterilize the atmosphere in children's wards. Nevertheless, a small minority of individuals may be sensitive to it. (Should you be sensitive to propylene glycol, attempt using vegetable glycerine instead?)
Scientists have also analyzed eliquid, and considered safe for inhalation.

Thread: Switching from EG to diameter
- 01-05-2011 #1
I've decided that I'm going to start measuring the broadness of my penis rather than the circumference. There are a handful of reasons I've decided to make the change.
1. Circumference is hard to measure. I've yet to figure out a way to do it with one hand. As hard as I try holding a rock hard erection without a stroke every now and then is difficult. A strong kegel probably gets me close, but when I get the tape around there is still some give. That leads to either the tape not being tight, or the tightness or the tape causing the measurement to be inaccurate.
2. Measuring diameter is easy. Kegel, give the base an OK grip, and throw your ruler over top.
3. Long term, I think I'll get more accurate readings with diameter, and the point in measuring is to measure growth. If I have a more accurate baseline then I'll know whether or not I'm making progress more easily.
4. Dildos are measured in diameter. I was looking up dildo sizes recently for fear of achieving a length that might make me bottom out. So I was looking into dildo lengths, as it would seem more popular dildos would tell you about more popular size. To my surprise they used diameter instead of circumference.
The one fall back I see is that a change in circumference would be much easier to notice (provided an accurate measurement) than diameter. So if you gained 1/8 of an inch in diameter that'd be about 3/8 of an inch in circumference (actually pi/8, if your penis is perfectly circular). I'm not trying to rock the boat here, and 8x5 sounds a lot cooler than 8x1.75, but for me it take out the ambiguity of the EG measurement.
- 01-05-2011 #2
I am going to gently disagree: The reason we measure is for a measurement, not a visual estimation. Try this: use a ruler to measure the width of a glass in your kitchen. Don't measure across the top, but on the curved side first. Now measure across the top and you may be surprised. I bet your first measurment is wrong, cause you are only estimating by visually/mentally aligning it.
The reason I feel strongly about this is that I do estimating in my employment: I am amazed how poorly peple guess!
Go to walmart in the sewing aisle and get a measuring tape for sewing. It will easily wrap around with one hand. Good luck!Concentrating on kingpole's Beginner to Advanced Beginner Routine

1/8" may not seem like a lot, hell, even 1/16" may not seem like a lot, but being off that much on say a 1" object could yield you anywhere from 2.94" circumference to 3.34" circumference. A variance of .4" in circumference is a hell of a lot.
It's best to get one of those flexible sewing tape measures and get a true measurement, not a guesstimate.

Vulcan, understood, penises are generally round-ish, and if I grow too much in the other direction I'll stop before it looks like Bert from Sesame Street.

I did this today (erect), multiply by PI, and that gives me an extra third of an inch equivalent girth! That made me think differently about how big it might feel on the receiving end, which also makes me think a little differently about my goals. But I'm also aware it's not accurate. I'm not sure how much that matters or what conclusion to draw other than taking multiple measurements is more informative?"I want to go to my death bed one day knowing that even when my heart led me into the fire, I fucking did it anyway, and I have the story to tell."

Let's say your girth work results in fantastic CS gains, how will you know by measuring across the top? CS is on the bottom of your unit.

seems reasonable to measure both. I agree what you're saying, definitely, it shouldn't be a substitute, but as i say, measuring across the top for width alone tells me I have a tasty bit more "equivalent" girth, and that's what she's gonna feel when we're bumping uglies. On that basis I think it's an informative measure, and something that makes you reconsider women's responses to quoted girth of 5", 5.5", 6" etc... and hence, for anyone with size anxiety, might help to put some people's minds at rest a little? Information is power as they say."I want to go to my death bed one day knowing that even when my heart led me into the fire, I fucking did it anyway, and I have the story to tell."

I agree with everything that's been said in this thread already. If do you choose to measure your diameter though, I would probably suggest using a pair of calipers to get an accurate reading every time. In fact, you can even use the calipers to measure your diameter from top to bottom as well, instead of just side to side.April, 2010:

Charles v. Kapalua Bay, LLC
In this arbitrability dispute, the Supreme Court reversed the portion of the intermediate court of appeals' (ICA) order denying Petitioners' request for appellate attorneys' fees and affirmed the portions of the ICA's order granting Petitioners' request for appellate costs and denying Petitioners' request for fees and costs incurred in the circuit court without prejudice. The court held (1) for purposes of Haw. Rev. Stat. 607-14, the appeal of the arbitrability issue is a separate action from the underlying dispute on the merits; (2) Petitioners prevailed in the arbitrability action and were therefore entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees under section 607-14 and a fee-shifting provision in a purchase agreement; and (3) as to Petitioners' request for an order stating that they were entitled to attorneys' fees and costs incurred in proceedings before the circuit court and in arbitration, the circuit court properly denied without prejudice to Petitioners' right to request fees and costs from the circuit court.

Narayan v. Ritz-Carlton Development Co.
The Supreme Court affirmed its decision in Narayan I, in which the court held that Plaintiffs, a group of individual condominium owners, could not be compelled to arbitrate claims arising from the financial breakdown of a condominium project. Specifically, the court held in Narayan I that the arbitration clause was unenforceable because the terms of the documents at issue were ambiguous with respect to Plaintiffs' intent to arbitrate and that portions of the arbitration clause were unconscionable. The United States Supreme Court vacated and remanded Narayan I for further consideration in light of its recent decision in DIRECTV, Inc. v. Imburgia, 577 U.S. __ (2015), which held that state law must place arbitration agreements on equal footing with all other contracts. After recognizing this principle, the Hawaii Supreme Court held that that the arbitration clause at issue in the present case was unconscionable under common law contract principles. View "Narayan v. Ritz-Carlton Development Co." on Justia Law
Narayan v. Ass'n of Apartment Owners of Kapalua Bay Condominium
Appellants, a group of individual condominium owners in the Kapulua Bay condominium, challenged the vote of the Association of Apartment Owners of Kapulua Bay Condominium to convert the residential community into a hotel. The dispute was submitted to arbitration. On appeal, Appellants challenged the adequacy of the neutral arbitrator's disclosures in the arbitration. The circuit court concluded that vacatur was not required because the undisclosed relationships did not constitute "evident partiality." The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not clearly err in concluding that the arbitrator's undisclosed connections with certain parties did not constitute evident partiality.

Gabriel v. Island Pacific Academy, Inc.
Under the circumstances of this case, it was unconscionable to require an employee to pay half the estimated arbitration costs up front in order to access the arbitral forum, and therefore, the requirement was unenforceable. Plaintiff signed and submitted an employment contract that contained an arbitration provision. Plaintiff, however, never did work for Defendant. Plaintiff filed a complaint alleging that Defendant refused to hire her in retaliation for her filing a sexual harassment complaint. Defendant filed a motion to compel arbitration. Plaintiff opposed the motion to compel, arguing, inter alia, that the arbitration agreement was unconscionable because it required her to pay for the arbitration costs in a civil rights matter. The circuit court ultimately granted Defendant's motion to compel arbitration. The court found it would be unconscionable for Plaintiff to pay half the arbitration estimate to access the arbitral forum but nonetheless concluded that the arbitration clause could be enforced by requiring Defendant to pay for all arbitration fees and costs. The Supreme Court vacated the circuit court's order, holding that the circuit court (1) correctly concluded that the parties entered into a valid arbitration agreement; but (2) improperly reformed the arbitration agreement instead of invalidating the entire agreement.

RT Import, Inc. v. Torres
RT Import Inc. filed a complaint against Jesus and Mila Torres seeking damages for merchandise allegedly misdelivered by WFS to the Torreses, which was then converted by the Torreses. RT Import and the Torreses agreed to resolve their dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitrator found that the Torreses committed the intentional tort of conversion and awarded RT Import damages. The arbitrator also found that the Torreses were responsible for arbitration fees and costs. The circuit court granted RT Import's motion to confirm the final award and awarded RT Import $106,711.62 in damages and $8,355.49 for arbitration attorney's fees and costs. The Intermediate Court of Appeals (ICA) affirmed the circuit court's confirmation of the final arbitration award and judgment. The Supreme Court vacated the circuit court's judgment as to $4,738.74 of the $8,355.49 for RT's arbitration attorney's fees and costs and otherwise affirmed, holding that the circuit court erred by including in the judgment confirming the arbitration award $4,738.74 directly billed by RT Import to the Torreses, which was not a part of the final award. Remanded. View "RT Import, Inc. v. Torres" on Justia Law
Noel Madamba Contracting, LLC v. Romero
This case arose from a construction contract dispute between homeowners Ramon Romero and Cassie Romero and contractor Noel Madamba Contracting LLC (Madamba). The case proceeded to arbitration. Arbitrator Patrick K.S.L. Yim issued a partial final arbitration award concluding that Madamba breached the construction contract and that the Romeros were entitled to compensatory damages. Following the issuance of the partial final award, the parties learned that the law firm representing the Romeros throughout the arbitration had been retained by the administrator of Yim's personal retirement accounts. Madamba moved to vacate the arbitration award based on this previously undisclosed information. The circuit court denied the motion, determining that Yim's failure to disclose this information did not constitute evident partiality. The Intermediate Court of Appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court vacated the judgments of the lower courts, holding that Yim's failure to disclose his relationship with the Romeros' counsel's law firm constituted evident partiality requiring vacatur of the arbitration award. Remanded with instructions to vacate the arbitration award. View "Noel Madamba Contracting, LLC v. Romero" on Justia Law

Question about GE Spacemaker JVM1640SJ Microwave Oven
My GE spacemaker oven shuts off after 3 minutes when cooking on high, then resets itself 10-15 min later.
I don't think that I hear a fan spinning when the microwave is on - could it be overheating? If the answer is yes, how should I repair this?
Thanks Appliance Experts!
Posted by Ryneau on
I have the same problem! Any ideas?
My microwave basically starts to work and then shuts off as if there was a power failure. It comes right back on but asks you to reset the clock, etc. It makes for a nice built in clock but a terrible microwave as it won't run long enough to cook anything.
My GE Spacemaker worked fine for about 1 year. Now it turns off around 3 mins and restarts after an hour or so.
bought and installed a used 10 year old working ge oven/mircowave unit; we use the microwave one and the board keeps shutting itself off; could we have fried the board? How is tat possible?
Microwave shuts off after 2-3 minutes and doesn't come back on until 15 minutes later. Any ideas?
Had one of these brought into shop. Customer complained it would run for 3 minutes (on high), then would shutdown and clock would reset. We noticed that there was no fan sound coming from it when we first ran it. Bingo! found magnatron cooling fan blade came off the motor shaft. After getting into it, found that there was no E-clip or any other fastener. The blade was glued on only. So we used a two part 5 minute epoxy glue and reattached, let glue cure and ran repeatedly to make sure no damage had occured to Magnatron or supporting components. All is well now! Hope this helps someone.

I have a GE microwave oven I purchased at Wal-Mart for ( I think) $50.00. It started shutting itself off after a few seconds, and got progressively worse.
I opened it up and noticed a temperature switch on the magnetron. This switch interrupts power to the whole unit when it opens on high temperature.
I jumpered the leads (bypassing the temperature switch), and it ran fine for a minute with a coffee cup of water for a load. Before it would switch off after only 5 seconds.
Yes the magnetron gets warm, but how warm is normal? I don't know. It felt like about 150 degrees F to me after a minute's operation.
The temperature switch has the numbers "150" stamped in it, so that may be 150 F or 150 C. I'm guessing 150 C, which is about 300 F
I thought "maybe the temperature switch is just getting weak". I noticed a second similar temperature switch on the far side of the microwave, where the air exits the oven. It had "100" stamped in it, but just for laughs I swapped it with the "150" switch mounted on the magnetron.
Well ,it works great, with my test of heating a coffee cup full of water for a minute.
I will shop for a proper replacement temperature switch. Meanwhile, I can get some limited use from my microwave, under a watchful eye of course.

The cooling fan is critical! If the magnetron overheats too much or too often, it can fail, and that adds to the repair cost.
If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk
There should also be a very helpful "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel. It's very helpful when troubleshooting.

I think you have a different problem than Ryaneau.
This is usually due to a defective or loose magnetron causing electrical interference and disruption in the control circuit board.
If your magnetron was recently replaced, it may have loose mounting nuts or bolts or maybe the wire mesh RF gasket was not installed or got
It may also need a new high-voltage diode and stirrer, and the cavity may be affected.
GE had a campaign (but not a recall, mind you!) covering several models.
Details are in their bulletin at http://184.108.40.206/mwd/ge_mw_mag_kit_bulletin.pdf
Even if your model is not on the list, the same problem can occur, requiring a kit. I just think the difference is that GE has stopped paying
for the repairs.
The parts kit (that GE used to pay for) is part # WB27X10489 and is shown here: http://220.127.116.11/mwd/wb27x10489_ge_mag_stir_kit.jpg

Think of someone important to you. Your wife or your mother or your professor. Maybe they're important because of something they've done for you, or maybe it's just because you like them.
If you really care about the person, it'll be natural for you to want to show them love. Show them that you're grateful for them.
So you think, I'm going to get a gift card to her favorite fancy restaurant to show my gratitude. You sly fox, you.
You go to the spot, pick up the card, write her name on the back or in a little note with a verse embossed inside. Maybe you put a bow on it or attach flowers.
And, ta-da, one week later you're sitting in the restaurant at a corner table, drinking wine and eating something you can't identify other than to say it tastes expensive.
Only, you're eating by yourself. You didn't bring that special person along. Didn't even give them the card. You went through the planning and the doing by yourself, even though this was meant for another.
Well, I'm not sure why, but I know this is exactly the sort of thing we do with gratitude.
Gratitude is so often reduced to something we feel. An emotion. A thought. A heart flutter. And, as good as that flutter is, what's the difference if we don't do anything with it?
You wouldn't buy a toy for your kid and never bring it home. You wouldn't wrap a box of chocolate for your friend and never give it. You wouldn't frame a picture of you and your boyfriend only to hide it whenever he comes around.
So why do we let thankfulness stop in our hearts and at the top of our throats? Why do we acknowledge it in our heads, but not act on it with our hands?
The hard part about thankfulness is not being thankful. That's the easy part.
The hard part about thankfulness is showing it.
* * *
This Thanksgiving, millions of Americans will sit around their tables and say things they're thankful for. Saying it aloud — making your thanks public — is great and proper; silent gratitude holds little weight. But imagine if that gratitude was a catalyst for action.
What would that look like for you?
It could be something as simple as a hug. Go up to your brother, put a hand on his shoulder and say, "Thanks," and mean it. Spend time with someone for no other reason than the love that flows from a grateful heart.
Or it could be something more. Give a gift. Take your significant other to his favorite spot. Write a letter to your mentor that says how much the little things mean to you, how grateful you are for their help.
Basically, thankfulness should spur life-change. It's so easy to talk to a friend or pray to God like this: "Thank you for this, that and the other thing." But thankfulness is more than words or prayers. It should affect not only what we think, but how we live.
* * *
"And, did you know that thankfulness is good for you?" say the books. "It's scientifically proven to improve physical health. Being grateful makes you happier and less stressed. And expressing thanks can really give relationships a boost."
Okay, I believe all that. There are a lot of good byproducts of a grateful heart.
But… (you knew there was a but coming)… the benefits to your health and quality of life aren't the reason you should show thanks.
Showing thanks — living it out, not just thinking thankful thoughts — should be our inclination whether or not there's a payoff.
Saying "Thank you" might not guarantee a "Your welcome" in return. Giving a hug doesn't necessitate reciprocation. Some people won't appreciate your appreciation. And that's okay.
Even if gratefulness were bad for us, it's still something we should have and do.
Being grateful won't get you into heaven, but that's not why we give thanks. We give thanks for what's happened, what is happening (even if what's happening seems like a trial), and what will happen in the future, not because we might get something out of it, but because it's the right response to all those things in life that are really just grace.
Some parents give their young children a quarter or a piece of candy when they're first being taught to say "Thank you." While that's all well and good, it's not the way the real world works, or even how it should. When the toddler is weaned off the rewards, will they be like Pavlov's dogs, salivating for a reward that isn't coming?
This problem can be averted simply by recognizing what gratefulness is and does. It is the soul's memory pouring out a response — a response that once was natural, but in our world must often be learned. Its purpose is to be the reward, not to earn one. ("I'm grateful that you're grateful that I'm grateful that you're grateful…" ad infinidum.)
And, possibly, it's not even a reward; it's just the natural result. It's the other half of the equation. When a good thing happens — or when a bad thing doesn't happen (just think about that for five seconds) — that's the cause for which the effect is a recognition of thankfulness.
Then, when we consider all our blessings — and we only recognize one in a million — all those thoughts of thankfulness become acts of thankfulness, and all those acts together, by grace, become a lifetime of thankfulness.
Ask yourself, if you're not practicing those acts of thankfulness, are you really thankful?
Living out gratitude is harder than merely being grateful. But if thankfulness is real in us, living it out will be the only possible end.

Hilary Swank is an American actress. She is best known for her roles in such films as "Boys Don't Cry," "Million Dollar Baby," and "P.S. I Love You."
Hilary Ann Swank was born on July 30, 1974 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The younger child of two (she has a brother who is eight years her senior), she moved with her family from Spokane, Washington to Bellingham, Washington at the age of six. It was here that she was discovered by producer, Suzy Sachs, who began to coach her in acting. By the time she was nine, Hilary had landed her first lead role as Mowgli in "The Jungle Book." She didn't know it then, but playing the part of a boy would wind up winning her her first Oscar in the film, "Boys Don't Cry."
Hilary continued to act in local theater throughout junior high and high school. She also passed her time competing in sports such as swimming and gymnastics. Among her most memorable sports-relted feats were Competing in the Junior Olympics and Washington state swimming events, as well as ranking 5th in the state in all-around gymnastics. However, when she was 15, her parents separated, and soon after, she moved with her mother to Los Angeles to continue pursuing an acting career.
Starting out playing small roles on TV shows such as "Harry and the Hendersons" and "Growing Pains," Hilary eventually landed her first movie role in 1992 in the film, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Of course, it wasn't until two years later that she would win her breakout role in the film, "The Next Karate Kid," which lead her to a recurring role on "Beverly Hills, 90210" and eventually the lead in "Boys Don't Cry." Since that film, she has gone on to win a second Academy Award for her role in "Million Dollar Baby," and has also starred in other famous films such as "Insomnia," "P.S. I Love You," and "Amelia."

Why Tax Planning is so Important
Do what you want, but do it in a tax-smart way
While the term "tax planning" is frequently used, it is not necessarily well understood. Here's what you need to know.
What tax planning really means
Tax planning is the art of arranging your affairs in ways that postpone or avoid taxes. By employing effective tax planning strategies, you can have more money to save and invest or more money to spend. Or both. Your choice.
Put another way, ta planning means deferring and flat out avoiding taxes by taking advantage of beneficial tax-law provisions, increasing and accelerating tax deductions and generally making maximum use of all applicable breaks available under our beloved internal Revenue Code.
Also read: You may owe the IRS $10,000
While the federal income tax rules are now more complicated than ever, the benefits of goods tax planning are arguably more valuable than ever before.
Of course, you should not change your financial behavior solely to avoid taxes. Truly effective tax planning strategies are those that permit you to do what you want while reducing tax bills along the way.
How are tax planning and financial planning connected?
Financial planning is the art of implementing strategies that help you reach your financial goals, be they short-term long-term. That sounds pretty simple. However, if the actual execution was simple, there would be a lot more rich folks.
Tax planning and financial planning are closely linked, because taxes are such a large expense item as you go through life. If you become really successful, Taxes will probable be your single biggest expense over the long haul. So planning to reduce taxes is a critically important piece of the overall financial planning
Horror stories when folks fail to make the connection
Facebook's users outraged over emotion experiment
A furor has erupted over news that Facebook in 2012, conducted a psycho
Over the years as a tax pro, I have been amazed at how many people fail to get the massage about tax planning until they commit a grievous blunder that costs them a bundle in otherwise avoidable taxes. Then they finally get it. The trick is to make sure you don't have to learn this lesson the hard way. To
illustrate the point, consider the following example.
Example Josephine us a 45 year old unmarried professional person. She considers herself to be financially astute. However, she is not well-versed on taxes. One day, Josephine meets Joe, and they quickly decide to get married. Caught up in the excitement of a whole new life, Josephine impulsively sells her home shortly
before the marriage. The property is in a great area and has appreciated by $500,000 since she bought it 15 years ago. She intends to move into Joe's home, which is a dump, but Josephine is a proven genius at remodeling, and she plans to work her usual magic on Joe's property.
Result without tax planning For federal income tax purposes, Josephine has a whopping $250,000 gain in the sale of her home ($500,000 profit minus the $250,000 home sale gain exclusion allowed to unmarried sellers).
Result with tax planning: If Josephine had instead kept her home and lived there with Joe for two years before selling, she could have taken advantage of the larger $500,000 home sale gain exclusion available to married joint-filers and thereby permanently avoided $250,000 of taxable gain. If necessary, Joe's home
could have been sold instead of Josephine's. Alternatively, Joe's property could have been retained and the couple could have worked on remodeling it while still living in Josephine's home for the requisite two years.
Moral of the story? By selling her home without considering the tax-smart alternative, Josephine cost herself $62,500 in taxes (completely avoidable $250,000 gain taxed at an assumed combined federal and state rate of 25%). This is a permanent difference, not just a timing difference. The point is, You cannot ignore
taxes. If you do, bad things can happen, even with a seemingly intelligent transaction.

Something I've always wanted to do is pair my poetry with other art. Sculptures, paintings, collage.. When I was younger I got the idea to make a book of paintings and poetry. In the poetry class I'm taking this semester I finally had the opportunity to do so.
I wrote a poem about a spider that I made out of steel and rebar. The feet are blacksmithed to be pointy, and I welded all the parts together. This was a final project I did for a class, and the spider is five feet by three feet wide.

The Process
Here you can find out how the process actually works. These are projects I have worked on, with 'Before and After' pictures to show what can be achieved…
Family kitchen
The initial email read "desperately need help asap to declutter" Family were the priority to a loving and creative mother who always put relationships first. Sharing a rented home with adult children and a grandchild meant that everyone was busy and things felt out of control- plus, repairs were due and they needed the landlord to come over.
The Process
We spent two days working on the kitchen. Priority went to clearing the floor first, surfaces next and cupboards last. We created a useable space for the grandchild's crafts as well as decluttering Tupperware and the tops of the cupboards.
The pictures speak for themselves- the family could now eat at the table, the granddaughter could access her craft materials and I advised how to manage laundry in the space too.
"It has given me and the family so much of a lift to have a clear dining area – cupboards and all!"
Spare bedroom
This client had been out of work and was about to start a full time job so she wanted to make the most of her time to get the house sorted and to prepare the spare room to be let out for additional income.
The process
We sorted through everything, clearing things which had been untouched since she'd moved in several years previously. Random cables, jewellery and bed linen were tackled, a desk and bed were reassembled (one of my favourite jobs!) I also advised on how to dress and decorate the room for rental.
The result was a fully functioning bedroom, which she later painted a more neutral & restful colour. (As part of the same project we also tackled the utility cupboard and her bedroom and I advised her how to declutter the kitchen between our sessions.)
The client said "What a pleasure it has been working with you over the past couple of months!! Thanks for all your help, it has made such a difference to my life and how I feel about my home now"
The client wanted to reclaim her loft space (it had become a dumping ground- offspring couldn't find things so chaos had ensued!)
The process
In this case the mother was planning on going away so I worked with the adult children- initially just the daughter, later the son joined us. Belongings were allocated to family members, each making their own decisions (the mother had already agreed that her daughter could make decisions on her behalf)
NB Loft spaces are often used as 'procrastination spaces', but everything left at the end of the session was now either seasonal or archive/ long-term storage.
By the end of the session everything remaining was stored in labeled cardboard boxes grouped by person. They were now easily and safely accessible.
"Great job, thank you! …I really appreciate how brilliantly you have persuaded my children to get on board."

Secondhand Sureshots is a filmed experiment in creative sound recycling. Dublab Dublab directors Bryan "Morpho" Younce & Mark "frosty" McNeill sent beatmakers Daedelus, Nobody, J.Rocc and Ras G on safari into L.A. thrift stores with orders to make new music out of five finds while the cameras filmed the whole process. The result is a mini-documentary about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music & bonus material.
Secondhand Sureshots will be released Feb. 9, 2010 as DVD & CD, distributed by Stones Throw. Today on our web store we present the exclusive Secondhand Sureshots Deluxe Super Set.
The Deluxe Super Set is a true sound and vision experiment. Dublab scoured Southern California and rescued 500 gatefold LP covers from dusty thrift store bin obscurity. Our graphic friends at Hit+Run took the covers and screen-printed them by hand, making new visual masterpieces to house the first public release of Secondhand Sureshots. Stuffed in this package is all-exclusive material sampled and shredded into new forms fine-tuned to blow your mind. We hope it inspires you to make your own creative gems and jams!

Meth Contamination - Property Testing
Meth Contamination of Properties
Methamphetamine or 'P' use is increasing and disturbingly, it is estimated that the Police find only 5 to 10 per cent of the total operating Meth Labs. Typically, 75 per cent of the Meth Labs have been located in rental properties and the issue of chemical contamination is a growing issue for the property owners. Decontaminating a house could in advance of $5000 or in severe cases it may require demolition of the property. No property type is safe from use as a manufacturing facility, whether they be hotel rooms, apartments and vehicles. The portability of meth labs mean that they easily moved and contaminate multiple properties. It's important to know that Meth contamination is NOT typically covered by insurance and will leave the homeowner out of pocket.
Meth Residue Detection
Using the Drȁger Drugs Test 5000, DRUGCHECK performs on-site composite indicative tests which provide immediate results as to the detection of drug residues in the property. Samples are taken from surfaces in the property by a trained technician using a Drȁger swab kit and analysed for the presence of six types of drug residue. A positive test is reported when the limits listed below are exceeded.
Amphetamine (AMP) - 50 ng/ml
Benzodiazepines (BZD) - 15 ng/ml
Cannabis (CAN) - 10 ng/ml
Cocaine (COC) - 20 ng/ml
Methamphetamine (MET) - 35 ng/ml, or
Opioids (OPI) - 20 ng/ml
However, it is important to note that there are limitations to any form of meth testing;
- The composite test uses one swab (kit) to sample multiple areas; this provides an average level of contamination over the areas sampled. Typically, contamination will be concentrated in the area where drugs have been "used" or "manufactured" however, determining the exact level and location of contamination can only be done through detailed laboratory testing. It is not possible to sample every surface in a property using this indicative test.
- The presence of drugs may be masked if the surfaces tested have been recently cleaned, papered or repainted and there may be no residue to provide a positive reading. Although we endevour to sample surfaces that have not been redecorated, we recommend you check what cleaning, painting and/or renovating has been done recently.
A drugs residue test is only one of the criteria you should use when assessing the suitability and risks associated with a property. As well as the standard advice provided by the likes of HOBANZ (Home Owners & Buyers Association of New Zealand) and the Department of Building and Housing, DRUGCHECK recommends talking with the neighbours as they often have a sense for what has gone on in a property

This article originally appeared on CNN:
(CNN) Be afraid — be very afraid. This is the warning the world deserves to hear. Because the leader of the free world refuses to look with clear eyes at the chief security challenges of the 21st century: the fruits of radical Islam.
The results of the Obama White House's innovative efforts to make the world a better place can be accounted for in the ever-growing numbers of victims of radical Islam in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Not to mention here in the United States, Canada and Europe. Is it not a tragic irony that the Arab Spring-era policies of a Nobel Peace Prize recipient accommodated the transition of Syria into the world's newest jihad theater while leaving Libya a failed state and Yemen a failing state?
The Syrian jihad gave rise to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which now uses Syria as a rear operating base to support its jihad in Iraq, which could soon spill over into Jordan. Plus, Libya is now being used as a rear operating base by ISIS and other global jihadist elements striving to redraw the map of the Middle East, even as they plan attacks in Europe and North America.
Given the frightfully slow pace America's commander-in-chief is currently allowing our military and intelligence community to take action against both ISIS and its progenitor, al Qaeda, the picture of what's in store is clear: The body count will continue to grow in the places where these groups can generate buy-in for their agendas. And neither the United States nor our Western allies are immune to this cancer.
Academics who must say something new or different to garner interest in their work may describe the agendas of ISIS and al Qaeda as distinctly different. But the fact is they are not — their agendas, which constitute the foremost threats to the global security environment today, are manifestations of radical Islam.
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn served as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Medal of Honor recipient and retired Maj. Gen. James E. Livingston, USMC, and congressional counterterrorism adviser Michael S. Smith II are co-founders of the strategic advisory firm Kronos Advisory.

Everybody wants a deal... and everyone wants perfection. There's an old saying in business... "you can have it three ways... good, fast or cheap... pick two." And, to be honest, I have no problem with that. And over the years, I've opted for good and fast. Experience has shown that cheap is always cheap in more ways than one.
By the same token, when a waiter does a great job, or a service person goes the extra mile, I'm the first guy to stand up and say thank you. Today, I have the pleasure of doing just that.
I recently had three of my camera bodies fail in one form or another. Great... one race into the season and I've got camera issues. That's what my friend Peter De Lorenzo calls, a bowlful of NOT GOOD.
So, I get online and start gearing up for an afternoon of groveling with Canon repair service in hopes of getting quick turn around. Enter CPS or, Canon Professional Services.
CPS came under fire recently when they changed the parameters of their Pro service plan. Nobody likes change and as you'd expect, Canon took a hit around the internet on the photo forums and such. Personally, I hadn't paid a whole lot of attention. You can read the release HERE.
CPS is now a multi-level program with two of the levels being paid membership level of service. Among other requirements, to get quick turn-around you need to pay an annual fee. Guess what... not the big deal that all the internet rumble made it out to be.
To qualify for CPS you need to have to pro bodies (30D or higher) and at least three L series lenses. Seems like a fair set of standards. From their you can become a Gold level member for $100 per year. So what do you get for the $100?
- EF Lens Work (beautiful book about Canon lenses)
- 1 Rear/Body Cap set
- CPS Pro Strap
- Canon Pro Guidebook
- CPS Datebook
- CPS ID Card
- CPS Pin
- CPS Monopod Cover
You also get three-day turn-around on your repairs, free return (FedEx) shipping and two certificates for free cleaning and check up. You also get free loaners when available.
That's not bad for $100, right?
Ok... so you get get your money's worth. Here's what they don't tell you; I needed my cameras back quickly. I shipped on Tuesday... two of three were back in my hands by Friday. The third was at my door on Monday. And the repairs? UNBELIEVABLE. Honestly, they could have told me they replaced them with new ones. The work was well beyond my expectations. While I had outlined the specific issues, after addressing and fixing those issues, CPS went the extra mile. The returned each camera to as new condition. I was stunned.
The repair cost for each body was $130. So, for $490 which includes the 1 year CPS membership. I'm back in business with three virtually brand new cameras all operating to spec. I couldn't be happier.
And, I couldn't be happier saying THANK YOU to Canon and recommending the CPS program to anyone that qualifies. It's well worth joining.
For more information on Canon U.S.A., Inc.'s new Canon Professional Services program including qualification requirements and benefits for Silver, Gold, and Platinum level memberships, please check the CPS web page at: www.usa.canon.com/cps
